About Me

The question of my diverse career as a leader has been, “why, despite all of our investments in developing our businesses, do we still experience much more wheel$pin than we should, which costs us a fortune and possibly our future prosperity, in business and life?”

The answer: agility (or rather, a lack of it), which has become the focus of all of my activities:

I am now an agile-facilitator/mentor/coach and speaker; I chair round-table peer groups of CEOs and executives, helping them be more agile in business and life; I sit on numerous boards as their agile eyes and ears.
